US Gen. Election Thread VI: You've Got E-Mail

[Eol Sha]

Oh Donna Brazile, what did you do this time?

Who is that?

Interim Chairwoman of the DNC. She got the job after Debbie Wasserman Schultz stepped down.

FBI just got a warrant to search Anthony Weiner's laptop.

Therapy better come as a job benefit for those poor souls.

At the same time the FBI is under investigation from the office of Special Counsel

Good times, good times.

And the Office of Government Ethics is apparently looking into the matter as well

The Trump Campaign is refusing to pay a pollster $800,000 http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/pre ... y-pollster

[Geilinor]

I bet the Republican strategy will be to block her primary promises and try to drive a wedge between Democrats.

No shit.

I expect she will try to follow through on her primary promises and hit a wall in the most-likely Republican House. She'll tack to the center and be able to get some things done but some compromises will be unpopular with progressives. Then Republicans will criticize her for breaking promises they never wanted her to be fulfill.

[Khadgar]

Trump's not paying his official pollster. Everyone will express shock that Donald isn't paying his bills I'm sure.

It wasn't a good idea for Comey to comment on the investigation way back in July. To release a statement which does nothing but cast suspicion on one candidate eleven days from an election? We're getting into some J. Edgar Hoover shit now.

[United States of Natan]

And unfortunately the democrats will criticize her for being too soft and compromising with them.

Yes, that was my point.

[IceBuddha]

The White House does not believe that Comey is trying to influence the election. However, they are not aware of how Comey came to his decision.

Well of course they are saying that. Comey was an Obama appointee.

Obama tried the whole attempting to compromise bit. Didn't work out at all. Did get the Republicans to howl about how he refuses to work with them.

You can tell who had to read through the laptop by singing the Oscar Meyer song out loud and seeing who gets triggered.

$800,000 is a lot of money. I guess Trump will be in court yet again.

[Gauthier]

CNN is disgracing itself this election.

The media as a whole has failed. In their pursuit of ratings they've gone back to the days of yellow journalism. They replay Trump's bullshit without fact-checking it. When he says something blatantly false, they don't point out that it's blatantly false. When Trump doesn't answer a question during an interview, the interviewer lets him get away with it. They have abandoned their duty as the Fourth Estate.

They want Trump to win because he's a headline machine to them. At least until he starts closing down journalism outfits that don't line up with Trump State Media.

[Sonnveld]

huma has been fired?

if david brock attacked sanders with child porn shouldn't he be in jail now?

anyway what are you hoping for for stein, what percentage do you think she'll get in Oregon?

Yes, Brock should be in jail but he isn't. Because he's with her. The Clintons slip out from under everything and apparently so do their high-ranking minions.
The attack itself was done by low-level functionaries so the leaders have plausible deniability.
In terms of Stein…personally I'm voting my values. I won't vote for war and fracking. And no mistake, those are coming. I was sickened by the chest-beating that we saw at the DNC.
The official Green Party line is we're trying for 5% of the national vote so we get $20 million to campaign on next cycle and we'll automatically be on the ballot, instead of having to gather signatures and petition every state. Given the Berner influx, I'm confident that we'll get that 5% easily. In Oregon? The whole Willamette Valley in this state was lit up green according to the WeThePeople app. There are a lot of angry Berniecrats here and Bernie took almost every county in the state during the primary. Hillary got one county — Gilliam, by ONE vote — all the other counties went to Bernie. If even half those voters went Green after our superdelegates ignored the will of the voting populace and endorsed Hillary, I think we will see double digits for Jill in the general here.

Oh look, Trump stiffing a contractor. Again.

[Zurkerx]

At an Albuquerque rally, Trump claimed that he was confident that he would win New Mexico. The delusions persist.

One of friends told me that they were tied in New Mexico and that he has a chance there. This is the same person that rejects most polls that showed Clinton winning.

With a more divided Republican House, it could work better. Especially if Republicans lose 20+ seats in the House.

Depends on whether or not the socalled "freedom caucus" (there's an orwellian term if I ever saw one) makes the difference between GOP majority or not.

Should have just run roughshod over them back in 2009 while their credibility was still shot thanks to the Bush Administration. No point in reaching across the aisle if the other side just punches you in the face every time you do.

But who will investigate the special counsel? Hillary? Can we get a whole investigatory circle thingy done?

Shhhh. Don't correct them. If they think he's got a chance in NM, they'll throw ad dollars and field operatives at an unwinnable state. They cut their losses a bit by giving up on Virginia; now let them undo those savings by wasting resources on New Mexico.
